Carlsberg Vietnam donates VND10 billion to central fishermen

Those provinces include Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien-Hue, Danang and Quang Nam as well as help the locals do the clean-up at beaches.

The incidents of massive fish die-off along Vietnam’s central coastal provinces are making fishermen’s lives are more and more difficult. Understanding truly the tough situation currently, Carlsberg Vietnam is taking action immediately and working closely with local authorities of these provinces to provide rice, noodles and cooking oil to help the local people overcome this hard time.

Ha Tinh was the first destination of this charity donation campaign and Carlsberg Vietnam will continue move to other provinces to support the local people there.

“I was in Ha Tinh, Nghe An and Hue beaches a few days ago and saw how the fish death is impacting peoples’ lives. As you know, Huda’s tagline is “ĐẬM TÌNH MIỀN TRUNG” – Central Pride Runs Deep which means that we always stand by the central region,” said Tayfun Uner, CEO of Carlsberg Vietnam. “We are now working with authorities to get permission to make a charitable donation of VND10 billion to the worst hit across these provinces. Each of the 2,800 Carlsberg Vietnam employees has made a voluntary contribution, donating 1 day of salary towards this effort and will be working on beaches to do the clean-up together with local people.”

Carlsberg is one of the first Danish multi-national companies to enter Vietnam and made its first investment in 1993. For the first 20 years, Carlsberg managed its Vietnamese operations through Carlsberg Indochina. In 2012, a fully dedicated Carlsberg Vietnam organisation was established with three offices and breweries in the north, central and south of Vietnam. Carlsberg Vietnam’s brands include Carlsberg, Tuborg, Huda Gold, Huda, Huda Cool and Halida.
